Yay! Glad to see you threw your hat back into the ring….it’s a positive sign!Hope your tail has resumed its upright posture….Didn’t like seeing you sounding forlorn. <But Monkey, my friend…. is discussing that….um…. special bit of business a wise thing to do at election time?The walls have ears…. and on Ballard Street, who knows WHAT other organs!
X_Tech …. I’d think comments about cookies are always appropriate…
in fact…. today’s strip reminds me of some gingerbread cookies that were sent to me for Christmas….Sad…. you know…. to open the package and find…well….perhaps my cookies had exhibited poor corporate climbing strategies at the gingerbread man factory….cos heads certainly had rolled.
Note to all…. I may be missing till Tuesday night or Wednesday….off on a government mission….has to do with the California Primary election…no late hours till after that….no phones or computers dawn till dark on Tuesday…will try to send carrier pigeon messages…
Please… try to think well of me….until my safe return….StelBel — be careful!
Good morning, BS denizens! I’m just sitting here sipping ice cold Irish Coffee and nibbling stale Snickerdoodle Fortune Cookies, and assessing the content of my Special Animal Suit Closet.I missed the Management Memorial (Commemorating Poor Corporate Climbing Strategies) Dedication Ceremony yesterday, but I hear it was not too well-attended.
I intercepted the document from behind the statue, unbeknownst to Monkeyblues, and substituted the benign 1967 Ballard Vacational School and Snicker Doodle Outlet (which actually is a collector’s item due to the “Snicker Doodle vs. Snickerdoodle Controversy”). Well, it turns out that it was the 1993 Ballard St. Elementary School Official Dictionary and Ladie’s Auxiliary Cookbook !! But , I don’t know what to do with it, now that I have it. I haven’t looked at it yet, and may not.
To tell you the truth (and I knew this was going to happen), I’ve lost track of who should have the book and who shouldn’t! So, for right now, I will put it safely away until after the election. Then, we can sort it out.
Re: 1993 Ballard St. Elementary School Official Dictionary and Ladie’s Auxiliary CookbookThe lab has managed to restore portions of said document. Particularly the photo entries in the Wedding/Specialty Cake section. Here are a couple of the less inappropriate entries. Many of the other entries cannot be pictured here or even described, so you just have to use your imaginations.

Quite the mouthful, and an impressive use of alliteration.
